Short name: | Bundle-branch block status |
METEOR identifier: | 343866 |
Registration status: | Health, Standard 01/10/2008 |
Definition: | The bundle-branch block status identified on a person's electrocardiogram (ECG), as represented by a code. |
Data Element Concept: | Electrocardiogram—bundle-branch block status |
Value Domain: | Bundle-branch block status code N |
Data element attributes | |
Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | To determine the bundle-branch block status, compare the current ECG to the preceding or most recently available ECG. |
---|---|
Collection methods: | Record for each ECG that indicates a bundle-branch block is present. Only one bundle-branch block status can be recorded for each ECG performed. Only one bundle-branch block can occur at any one time, but in any given person, a left bundle-branch block may occur at one time point and a right bundle-branch block at another time point. Therefore, there can only be one bundle-branch block per ECG, but they may differ temporally. |
